The transition to closed containment is gaining momentum

The transition to closed containment is gaining momentum as pilot projects are now either on the drawing board or up and running.

One company in Washington State is already supplying coho salmon raised in a land-based containment system to Overwaitea Food Group stores in B.C. and Alberta.
The company has announced plans to double production to serve the growing demand for more sustainable farmed salmon.

Living Oceans and our allies in Coastal Alliance for Aquaculture Reform successfully raised several million dollars in philanthropic funding to establish an Aquaculture Innovation Fund that will support closed containment pilot projects. A longer list of recent advancements can be found on the CAAR website.
